[Bug 191889] Re: Firefox's new "Offline Mode" feature cannot properly detect when there is a valid network available for use in many circumstances

[r0bb3d]

Hi,

I don't use network manager at all, disabled it and I have a custom
script edit the /etc/network/interfaces when needed and have it restart
networking.

This is a conscious choice because of many different networks I connect
to which don't support dhcp and I have all settings for these networks
pre-configured in this little script.

So I think it's very strange and just wrong for Firefox to assume
everyone uses network manager. Please Firefox developpers, just add an
option somewhere to force Firefox in online mode every time it starts.
Offline mode is completely useless to me and this is so annoying im
really tempted to switch browsers or downgrade to old Firefox.

Im running Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 with all updates and FF  3.0 beta 5

Thanks!
